Forgot to share this lone young 6 pointer from early this morning...light just filtering through the trees

Back for breakfast at first light”¦I was in and out of the back porch 3-4 times refilling bird feeders & the water pail and they just stood at the edge of the trees 25yds away watching me”¦last thing I did was carry out the customary red coffee can of corn close to the tree line and slowly...

Yeah, that one has a pretty wide beam already...be interesting to watch it grow...they usually come through the back yard about every day from June into September then pretty much disappear

Yeah, the title was a little "tongue-in-cheek" :) A bachelor group of 5 bucks came to the backyard water pail just before dark yesterday...the interaction of this pair made for the best shot.

Another monkey wrench in the works is you don't know if that's the original barrel so a S/N is really a crap shoot. Sometime more accurate rough aging can be done by the stock architecture...quality figured wood was usually a 70's thing...the shape / LOP / cheek rest / the internal drillings of...

Speaking only for myself, after I tried my first Chambers Deluxe Siler an the .58cal Early Virginia and found it to be a fast, flawless performer, I bought Chambers Deluxe Silers for the following 4 Flintlocks as well.

Understand you're annoyed...and I'm on no bandwagon...just trying to clarify that it sounds like they did exactly what you / they agreed to...continuing to trash talk them is really not going to help and to be honest doesn't put you in a very good light...just sayin Anyhow, good luck in the future

Some of my backyard bucks in velvet at the water pail:

Next time any of you guys buys a new car for $20,000-$30,000 bucks...then find it has defects, which it will...and you have to take it back to the dealer...probably multiple times...ask them to pay for your return expenses, LOL.

Now Goose...are you now saying they knowingly sent you a defective barrel? :)

Well, odds are it was in the contract...wouldnt have taken that position if that wasn't the case as they knew you got a copy of the contract as well. May have been a change they made to control overall business finances rather than implementing a price increase for a build. That shipping...

You never fired it?

Unfortunately, based upon your track record, you saying that is meaningless.

If a build spec sheet was agreed to and they built what was speced, the problem is with the buyer, regardless of what the buyer may have "thought" he was agreeing to. TVM would not build a gun different from a spec sheet agreed to by a buyer and then not make it right, period. It's like Hansi...

Had my straight solid brass range rods made at RMCsports Outlet...they have a lot of precuts, or you can specify the diameter, custom length, and size of threaded ends for whatever you want. http://www.rmcsports.com/catalog.htm But for my long guns, a solid 3/8" x 42" brass under-barrel rod...

With all those years left to hunt, some food for thought: The .32cal is an awfully small size caliber with very limited use for hunting. By contrast a .40cal is a beautiful all around small/medium size game caliber with PRBs, and then excellent on deer with the 200grn REAL conical....overall...

Pretty as they are, truth be known, not a one of them takes deer, turkey, squirrel, or dove any better than the collection of T/C Hawken Flintlocks I'd accumulated with various rifled and smoothbore barrels on them. But when I started hearing what was going to happen to T/C's traditional...

Amen...there are always a few on every forum...just ignore them like we do in everyday society. I accumulated several Flintlocks built by TVM, they all perform in an outstanding manner, and I sure wouldn't have continued to have them built if they didn’t. Had a situation with the very first...

While I agree the hammer, top jaw, and top jaw screw are major elements of the upgrade, I think there's more to it. PS: If you do get a hammer, you must get the jaw & screw...the others don't fit

If you want, feel free to sticky that post in the articles section along with the T/C Blackpowder Manual already posted there
